13 And Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she said, “Do you come In peace?” And he said, “In peace.”

14 And he said, “A word to me is to you.” And she said, “Speak.”

15 And he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and on me had set their faces all Israel that I should reign. And the kingdom has been turned over, and has become to my brother, for from YHWH it has come to him.

16 And one request I ask of you; do not deny me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”

17 And he said, “Speak, please, to Solomon the King, for he will not refuse you, that he may give to me Abishag the Shunammitess for a wife.”
